A man buys dreams that lead to wealth. A badger longs for a mother's warmth.  A god promises health if people will stop tripping over his head.
There was a rock in front of the 
soba stand the size of a fist.
Frente a la tienda, sobresalía una 
piedra en la superficie de la tierra
Tinha uma pedra do tamanho de
um punho na frente da loja.
